Dan Cole expects England tide to turn but will miss roommate Joe Marler
Leicester prop was first to find out about Marler’s retirement and is backing Borthwick after loss to All Blacks

She was visibly fatigued in the final set as Zheng regained control and secured her first win at the WTA Finals, closing out the match 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-1.
